Let's Discuss: Destiny Enemies

I just want to open a thread purely to get my thoughts over the enemy races we will face in Destiny, as well as seeing what you lot think about them. 1. The Vex These lot are looking good. I tend to not to take to machines being enemies in games and film alike, though these guys are shaping up well. 2. The Fallen I think these are the most interesting bunch. They just seem more alien to me than the rest. 3. The Cabal Now these seem interesting, being big and all, but the image of their faces we saw last night made me feel that they were just big ogres. I know they're ugly, but thats about it. They just look like big ugly men. No sort of alien look apart from that. 4. The Hive I have a problem with this faction. That being that they are described as being zombies, undead. Now I know that some people would argue that zombies can be classed as sci-fi and use The Flood as a good example. But I'd say that they were aliens, true zombies are supernatural, not in the bounds of science and Destiny being a sci-fi, the undead have no place in it. Now I just hope that these are basically The Flood for Destiny and are true aliens but the souls instead of noble gases discussion Joe Staten makes me doubt that. 5. ? Okay. Now remember that artwork yesterday that was shown to us of the mood/enemy panel. Notice how there were five of these panels. Four being easily distinguished as the four factions listed above, leaving the yellow one unidentified. Now this could just be the panel for Humanity, but by the look of it, I have the feeling that that big monster that was chained up in the reveal vidoc could maybe be part of its own faction. Sorry some were more fleshed out than others, but I"m interested to see what you all think.

    I think the Fallen are the ones with the souls that get ripped out of their bodies when they die. If memory serves, DeeJ mentioned something like that in a Mailsack a while back. As for the Hive, I think of them more as mummified aliens than zombies. I imagine they avoided that term more because it brings up those ridiculous bandaged weaklings, rather than desiccated corpses. As for the fifth race, we think it's called the Glimmer, it was a name that was copyrighted by Bungie at around the same time that The Hive was copyrighted. Personally I think the Glimmer has something to do with the picture you put onto the post, notice that this is the first time we've seen mixed enemies, which seems odd for a postcard. Even odder is the fact that they are weaponless, and have green glowy stuff coming out of their eyes, and are in an unnatural looking fog. Something is controlling them, and "The Glimmer" sounds like a good name for such a magical force or entity that would do such a thing.
